They experienced the beginning of the internet and computers becoming a main part of people's lives
They experienced the height of the cold war and experienced genuine concern for nuclear armageddon
They experienced the end of the cold war and a few years of peace
They experienced the beginning of grunge, hip hop music, heavy metal, MTV , and the peak of Michael Jackson
They experienced 9/11, the dot com bubble burst, the housing crash of 2008, the pandemic of 2020
They lived under the thumb of the silent generation and the boomer generation dominating politics for their entire life (as we all still do today) so there voice was never really heard.
